Jamun holds a firm place in Indian literature and religion. In Hindu mythology, Rama lived on jamun for 14 years after his exile from Ayodhya. Additionally, Krishna’s blue skin is described like the jamun, which is perhaps one reason why temples honoring Krishna also house a jamun tree or two. Another text states how the Puranas split the cosmos into seven continents. The center continent housing humans was the island of jamun, or, Jambudweep.
